Netbackup support for Oracle Express Edition (XE) ?
Concerning Oracle Database 11gR2 XE...
"Symantec NetBackup 7.x Database and Application Agent Compatibility List", makes no reference to specific Oracle database editions, so I would take that to indicate support for "All Editions". But, since Oracle Express Edition (XE) is substantially different than SE/EE... I would like to confirm that:
1) XE is supported by Netbackup Oracle Agent
2) If yes, is Netbackup on Oracle DB XE limited or hobbled in any fashion (relative to SE) ?
Thank You,

Don't think its supported - XE is a free edition. Usually Symantec only deals with official supported software - XE is only community supported. But if XE edition does RMAN it may work. Remember - Netbackup does not backup Oracle, Netbackup it's only a media manager layer for RMAN.
With respect to question 2 - I think you need to look at
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/license.112/e18068/toc.htm
to see what options Oracle disabled for the XE edition.
